    What scope do you have on your 22?

    I also have the SWFA SS 3-15x42 and this weekend I could actually see the bullet coming down from it's arc shooting at a target 150 yards out. I thought I was seeing things but others said they can sometimes see their subsonic .22 rounds. Now I'm sure it wasn't 100% because of the scope, but I...

    22lr Precision Rifle Match @ Navasota,TX

    Rover, the match had 8 stages with a range of 50 to 150 yards. There were barricades with multiple positions shooting at single targets, and some prone stages that were either troop-lines or KYL types. All of the targets were steel, and all the stages were 10 rounds each. I liked that the...

    Some 22 LR Trajectory Charts

    lash, this is some good info here. I went and shot a new .22 last weekend with SV ammo in the 1050 to 1080 range, and this data was extremely close. Very appreciated!

    22lr Precision Rifle Match @ Navasota,TX

    At a range here in Houston, I shot out to 50, 100, and 200 last weekend, so I’m pretty set at those distances. I also shot at the “varmint village” where they have 12” tall x about 4” wide steel gopher targets at what seemed like 20 or 25 yard intervals, that also goes out to 200 yards. I was...

    22lr Precision Rifle Match @ Navasota,TX

    My CZ455 is all done and ready to go. I hope this .22 match on Saturday is as much fun as it’s been just shooting this rifle at the range last weekend. I ran a few hundred rounds through it and this little .22 might the most fun I’ve had with a rifle in a long time.

    Entry-level options other than CZ, Ruger

    I’m a CZ guy,so I bought the 455. But the Savage MKII sure does look nice...

    NRL 22lr Rifle Setup

    The Pro Varmint stocks are hard to find... I ended up getting one in an olive-drab color, along with a Timney trigger. I also saw SWFA had scopes on sale so I picked up the SS 3-15x42. I think this scope will work well, since the place I want to shoot at I shoots more of a PRS-light than an...

    The OP was looking for an entry level rifle at a lower price point, so I think the Kelbys is out...

    Entry-level options other than CZ, Ruger

    But to actually answer your question, the options I see are: CZ 455 Varmint or Tacticool - The varmint can be found with longer barrels (20.5" or 24" if that matters to you) but then needs a better stock, or the Tacticool comes with a good stock to begin with and a 16" barrel. CZ 512 -...

    Entry-level options other than CZ, Ruger

    I have a CZ455 on it's way, for the same purpose of seeing if I'll enjoy PRS style shooting matches. I did the same research and I think the best current option is the CZ. The 10/22s are nice, but it seems many people almost instantly turn them into high-dollar Kidd-everything rifles and then...

    NRL 22lr Rifle Setup

    Well, I now have a CZ 455 varmint with a threaded 20.5” barrel on its way. I’ll put it in a Boyd’s pro-varmint stock... I might go with the pepper or forest camo color but I can always paint it later if I don’t like it, or when it starts getting beat up. For the scope I’ll borrow a PST...

    NRL 22lr Rifle Setup

    Skok3y, that’s some good info but it didn’t note barrel lengths. There was good info on scopes, though. That said, I think I’ll go with a 20” barrel: I don’t care about the added weight, since it still won’t be as heavy as a centerfire rifle. I’m not worried about the length once I add a...

    22lr Precision Rifle Match @ Navasota,TX

    Dthomas, their website shows 7/21 as a 22 match date but it doesn’t specify the style. Did you go to the last 22 match there? Not to get too far off topic, but did most people shoot subsonic or can you shoot the high velocity stuff reliably out to 250 yards?

    22lr Precision Rifle Match @ Navasota,TX

    I'm planning to build a 22 rifle and try to make the 7/21 NRL 22 match in Navasota. I went there this past Saturday to watch a centerfire match and see what it's all about and I can't stop thinking about it... But the 22 match is what I'll go for first.

    NRL 22lr Rifle Setup

    I'm wondering the same thing... I also want to try out NRL/PRS 22 shooting and I'm about to order parts and put together a rifle. While I've done some homework and I understand that 16" is all you technically need, I can't seem to find anyone who asked this exact question: I've read and heard...
